ABI Announcement List #21 - August 21, 2005

21 Aug 2005 2:19 PM | Marie Littlejohn-Dunn (Administrator)
    ABI Announcement List #21 - August 21, 2005

    1. Volunteers Needed = Treasurer and Auditor
    2. Brat Band Information Wanted
    3. 2005 AramcoBrat Directory and 2003-2005 AdBak

    ===================================

    1. The ABI Board continues to seek a Brat with experience in business finance or bookkeeping to fill the vacant Treasurer's position. The position requires familiarity with Quicken and Excel, and the time to manage the ABI finances and participate in board discussions and votes. Cathie McCoy, our last treasurer, has offered to help her replacement become familiar with our books and her system, and additional support and guidance is available from all of us on the ABI board. The ABI Board does not issue badge numbers, but we do promise the satisfaction that comes from helping to make the biennial reunions possible, and a chance to connect with more Brats than you would find at a Ras Tanura Tri-D dance.

    The ABI Board is also seeking a second volunteer to provide a term-end audit of the ABI books. Accounting skills and an eye for procedural inconsistencies, math errors, lack of detail or other potential problems are required, along with a day or two of your time.

    Please contact Gary Barnes, DH 70 at gary@aramco-brats.com if you are interested in either of these positions, or if you know of any Brat who might not see this announcement but may be interested or qualified. We would encourage you to contact Gary or any member of the ABI Board if you want to learn more about what is involved.

    ===================================

    2. Brat Band Information Wanted

    Are you familiar with the Leaky Roof Circuit Band, Fourth Run, Hell No, Arabian American Music Company, Rubber Band, the Exit Visas, or any other Brat Band?

    Brats have often mentioned the bands that played the Tri-D dances, but there doesn't seem to be any collected information on when these bands existed and who played in them. Dean Barnes, our Publications Director, is collecting information on Brat Bands for an upcoming issue of the Brat News.

    If you played in a band, if you were a fan, or simply in the crowd to enjoy the music in one of the Aramco camps, and you can recall who was playing on stage, please email dean@aramco-brats.com with the following information:

    a.) The name of the band.
    b.) The years in which the band was actively playing (please list reunion appearances separately).
    c.) The names and instruments of the band members.
    d.) The district the band was primarily from.
    e.) The songs and type of music played by the band.
    f.) Any interesting stories about the bands that you remember.
    g.) If you have any photographs of a Brat Band which you would be willing to share.
    h.) If you have any recordings of a Brat Band which you would be willing to share.

    ===================================

    3. 2005 AramcoBrat Directory and 2003-2005 AdBak

    The 2005 AramcoBrat Directory has been mailed to all Brats that paid their AdBak and were unable to attend the reunion. If you paid your AdBak, but have not received your directory, please contact diana@aramco-brats.com.
